from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
In January of 1888, a terrible blizzard, which came to be known as the "Schoolchildren's Blizzard" blew in across the Nebraska & Dakota Territory prairie. It was so-called because the deaths from the blizzard were largely of children who left school because of the bad weather coming. Sadly, they... more info

5.Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American WestBury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $12.96

Customer Review:
I have known about Dee Brown's classic history of the Western Indian Wars, for some thirty-five years. I can remember it being discussed, when I was in Middle School, between the years 1971 and 1974. Adults would mention it. You heard them talk about it on the radio, and on TV. This was about the... more info

6.The Journals of Lewis and Clark-The American Heritage LibraryThe Journals of Lewis and Clark-The American Heritage Library
from Houghton Mifflin (P)

Customer Review:
I am not an accomplished reader so it has to really hold my attention to finish a book. This book is written exactly from L&C's journals. Lots of mispelled words and some confusion. Sometimes hard to follow. Sometimes the minute details are a bit much. They don't really expound on things. I... more info

7.Devil s Gate: BrighamYoung and the Great Mormon Handcart TragedyDevil's Gate: BrighamYoung and the Great Mormon Handcart Tragedy
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I found Devil's Gate absolutely fascinating! I had never heard of the Handcart Migration, and to discover that the tragedy that befell the handcarters exceeded the suffering of the far-more-famous Donner Party was a revelation. The author does a great job of fleshing out the individuals whose story... more info

I would like to rate this book on two fronts; first, for the select few who work for a railroad (especially Union Pacific) and secondly, for the general public.

9.Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American WestBury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
There's already been much ink shed reviewing this seminal work by Dee Brown on the "loser's" of the 'Indian Wars' that consumed much of American history in the latter half of the 19th Century. If you don't feel great rage at the unceasing, genocidal campaign by European Americans upon the lands,... more info

from Viking Adult
Price: $18.96

Customer Review:
I have read quite abit about Custers last stand, so I was looking forward to an Indian view of the Battle. Unfortunatly this book is very poorly written and confusing. It keeps jumping back and forth in history and repeats the samethings several time. Maybe that is because Indian culture didn't have... more info
